For centuries, Venice stood at the
crossroads of culture between the Byzantine and Roman worlds. The city the great
traders and philosophers created is an extraordinary place. From the elegant
carved gondolas and vaporetti that ply the Grand Canal to the magnificent Piazza
San Marco bustling with life--Venice is unique in all the world. Great works of
art are housed here, in the Accademia, with its Renaissance masters, and the
collection of Peggy Guggenheim, in her canal-side palazzo. The Basilica di San
Marco and the Doge's Palace are must sees. After that, follow where your feet
take you, over romantic bridges, to shops selling precious glass, to small cafes
for a cappuccino or Campari, or to Harry's Bar
for a Bellini. |
